I am the son of a home builder/general contractor. Growing up, I helped my family with their construction business. I would help out more as I became a teenager by working in the summer. My family joked I would take over the company one day, but I wasn’t sure. Fast forward a few years and I was graduating from UT Austin with a degree in Computer Science. I was going to be a software engineer. The only problem was, I couldn’t get a job. Entry-level jobs weren’t giving me interviews. I watched videos and heard stories about how college graduates couldn’t get a job as tech companies laid off workers and wanted people with years of experience. So, instead of hoping someone would give me a job, I returned home to learn the family business. I decided to become a business owner. I did not want to fear being let go by a company I worked for. I would work towards making 7 figures instead of 6. My family had the recipe for success, but I wanted to use it my way. I am moving to Austin, Texas. I’m still at the beginning of this journey. So, without further ado, welcome to Carrasco Builds! The blog of Carrasco Homes of Greater Austin.
